Anybody running Exedy stage 2 clutch?
 

There's 20+ threads with feedback from ACT/CM/Exedy stage 1 clutches but I havent found any info regarding Exedy's stage 2, 3 puck clutch. The stage 1 is holding a lot more wtq than its rated at, and stage 2 is rated at 25wtq higher.

Just wondering is anyone has used that clutch and can provide feedback from noise, pedal feel, and its true holding capacity?

Thanks

I too am curious about the stage 2. I'm maybe two months away from a clutch purchase and I'm looking at either this or the fx300/350 clutch/flywheel combo.

@Pneub just installed this, maybe he can give some feedback.

Yup just got it. I unfortunately didn't see the clutch itself but I did ask if it really was a 3-puck and it is not. It's not full face but it's close and is more like an 8-puck design. Clutch feels really good so far. It did solve my ACT problems but we'll see if that stands up over time. The first few hundred miles the clutch disc didn't seem to want to hold onto the flywheel if I didn't give it enough gas and subsequently the car would shake/chatter until I fully released it. But a bit higher revs than the previous clutch and some time to break in seems to fixed it. Just took a bit to get used to. Clutch feel is nice. I like it more than the feel of the ACT or stock but it's not dramatically different. It's not very stiff at all. No issues with noise. Couldn't tell you what it's true holding capacity is as I'm only at 200tq myself. But I plan to get back up on the dyno and work on my torque curve soon If it shits itself I'll be sure to bitch about it somewhere on here.

Cool, thanks for the feedback. Anybody else have a little more time with this clutch?

bump I would like some info from anyone running this clutch as well

hows does this thing drive in traffic?

Ive been wondering about this clutch as well. Its interesting that it is being advertised as a 3 puck but isn't. I didn't purchase it for that very reason and ended up installing an ACT 6 puck. Mine is louder than two others I know of locally and not very friendly to drive. Seems like ACT has some inconsistency... I am tempted to pick one of these up and see how much it can hold. If no one finds out by the end of summer I may just pick one up.

It would be very helpful if a sticky existed where clutch upgrade experiences could be shared in one thread. Seems like results and issues are all over the board and pricing can vary from $500 to $2K. As power becomes more easy to come by the clutch decison is naturally going to be made more frequently as well.

Mine being installed next week and I'll post a thorough review.

As promised, I wanted to show everyone the latest Stage 2 Clutch Design from Exedy, which is different from their website.

any further updates of the Stage 2

This looks very similar to the Competition Clutch's segmented disc clutch.

@alpine is currently in the break in period on his. I'll be installing mine next week.
